Alvin Starclusk Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Haven't had much chance to listen to this until this weekend, wasn't too sure about it at first, but on repeat listenings, it's definitely a mighty return to form for the 3. Starts off with Last Train To Mashville, which is a bit too Power In The Blood-y, but from then on is proper, 3-style country. Highlights are Terra Firma Cowboy Blues, Have You Seen Bruce Richard Reynolds? (the Johnny Cash song Johnny Cash never sang) and How Can I Protect You - the most pop song they've done since Exile On Main Street.Like Johnny Cash? Go buy.

Honey In The Rock and Hello, I'm Johnny Cash were definite highlights of the Glasgow Carling gig.Overall it has taken me a few listens to fully get in to it, but with the windows wound down and the heat sweltering in to the car yesterday morning I think I finally fully clicked with the whole album.

Alvin Starclusk Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Couldn't go to the Academy gig due to my mate (inconsiderately) getting married that day, but will definitely be there at the T on the Fringe gig. A few of the songs sounded familiar, so it may be that they've been playing them live for a couple of years now, or may be from the demos my mate has for PITB.

Managed to (for once) make the effort to go front row, in front of the Rev D. Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Did he not collapse on you in a heroin-addled daze?Suprisingly no, but he does seem to have piled on the pounds. Lucky for us he didn't take a trip over into the front row, or I'd not be here to tell the tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
